The landslide hit Marketplace village on 24 August. My home was one of 77 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church hall. The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming. Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before. We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $900 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $120 • Food parcels for displaced families: $210 • Roofing sheets and timber: $400 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $170 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Margaret

    Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Mombasa.

    • More neighborhoods should do this. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
